Levin+EHSAS

Welcome to the the Levin Cluster EHSAS pages. Here is where we get to bring together literacy ideas, dilemmas, resources and frustrations for the purpose of MORE EFFECTIVE TEACHING PRACTICE! The Wiki is a good way of communicating with each other in the cluster, collaboratively sharing our ideas about what is happening in our schools in literacy. When EHSAS dissolves at the end of the year, we believe this will help sustain us into the future. We are:


 * 1) [|Fairfield]
 * 2) [|Horowhenua College]
 * 3) Kopoutaroa
 * 4) [|Levin Intermediate School]
 * 5) [|Poroutawhao]
 * 6) St Joseph's
 * 7) [|Taitoko]
 * 8) [|Waiopehu College]
